Customer Reviews
I had a fantastic experience!!! The staff was warm, attentive, and made every moment feel special, and the accommodations were absolutely superb. Our guide, Nico, went above and beyond to ensure we had unforgettable game drives—his knowledge, patience, and passion made all the difference. It was truly the experience of a lifetime, and I can’t recommend this lodge highly enough!
We stayed at Madikwe’s Dithaba Lodge as part of our honeymoon and had an incredible experience. We saw all the big five in less than 24 hours, and many more animals in the three days that followed, thanks to our amazing guide Ryan. You spend a lot of time with the guides but he was such fun to be around and incredibly knowledgeable. The team at Dithaba made our breaks between game drives equally memorable. Frank, Gerty are fantastic, always making sure our glasses were filled and every want taken care of. Another shout out to Bengie - we loved hearing his stories about all the wildlife he saw on the night shift. The lodge itself is beautiful with only a few rooms. We loved sitting by the pool watching and listening to animals in the distance. The food was incredible, some of the best we’ve ever had. Thank you so much to everyone at Dithaba, and we hope to return at some point in the future!
Dear Rhulani - Team We spent three unforgettable days at Rhulani Lodge in the Madikwe Game Reserve, and honestly – nothing could have been more perfect. From the very first moment, everything was exceptional – warm-hearted service, wonderful hosts, and a team that put a smile on our faces every single day. The atmosphere was genuine, welcoming, and filled with attention to every little detail. Our special thanks go to Allistar, our safari guide – our very own Lion King! With incredible knowledge, professionalism, and passion for the bush, he gave us the most breathtaking wildlife experiences. We have never met anyone quite like him – he knows everything about Madikwe, every animal, and somehow manages to find them all! And his driving skills are legendary – when it comes to tracking rare wild dogs, the Toyota magically turns into a Ferrari. 🦁🚙 We will never forget the special moments – like the coffee break with Amarula in the middle of the bush and the sundowners at the most stunning spots in the park. A heartfelt thank you to Allistar and the entire Rhulani team for an experience we will treasure forever. Absolutely outstanding – it simply doesn’t get any better! We came as guests and felt as we left this morning as friends ♥️ ⸻
